<p><b>Packing for Your Honeymoon</b> by Tim A. Smith<br />
<br />
A honeymoon is a holiday in which two newly weds will celebrate their marriage further. Honeymoons can be very enjoyable experiences and can be a big stress reliever. Contrary to popular belief, getting married can be quite a stressful process in terms of planning and preparing, even nerves can get to some people, that is why it is important that a honeymoon follows with no problems at all. Holidays are supposed to be stress free, but there can often be last minute panics and the most common is when the newly weds have not packed or have left out a particular item. Stress is the last thing you want as a newly wed couple, every situation is different of course, but it is best to be sure that nothing will go wrong. </p>
<p>When packing there are some very important things you should try your best to avoid. Problems are often experienced when packing for your honeymoon hours before your flight is due and when there is pressure, stress will often follow. If you’re due to catch a train, don’t leave it until last minute to pack. You should always try to pack when you have plenty of time to think so that you make sure that you don’t forget any essential items. A good tip is to sit down with your partner a few weeks beforehand and make a list of all the items you will require for your honeymoon. Once you have created a list you can prepare in advance and make sure that you avoid any of the common problems that people will face before embarking on their honeymoon. </p>
<p>So when is it best to pack? Of course, the best time to pack is a few days beforehand. Packing too early can never be a bad thing but of course you always have to remember to include every item you are going to need beforehand. If you waste your time packing last minute just after the wedding hours before your due to catch your flight you are a lot more likely to forget the essential items that you need such as your tickets. It has been seen before and it has turned what should be an enjoyable day into a nightmare. So instead of worrying last minute, plan beforehand to ensure that you wake up to a stress free day. </p>
<p>When going on your honeymoon there is not a set standard of items you must take on holiday with you but of course you should bring the bare essentials that you would typically take on a holiday. But the main thing you need to remember is that your honeymoon should be an enjoyable experience, so if you can afford to you should try and bring plenty of money so you can easily splash out once you are at your destination. It also depends on how long you are going for, and this is where planning beforehand becomes essential. </p>
<p>So when going on your honeymoon, try and be organized, book in advance, pack in advance and don’t leave anything until the last minute because you will regret it. When there is pressure it can often lead to stress, which is exactly what you don’t want. Of course, every situation is different, you may be going on your honeymoon weeks after you get married, but its always advisable to prepare way in advance. To some people this may seem quite obvious but you would be surprised as to how disorganized people can be, especially when there is a wedding to plan. Enjoy your honeymoon, follow the advice given and don’t let anything stop your honeymoon being one of the most memorable experiences of your life.<br />

<p>The abundance of the vines and scenic beauty of a vineyard&#8217;s manicured grounds may offer the perfect location for your wedding day.   </p>
<p align='right'><a href='http://abouttogetmarried.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/winery_3rita-juliana.jpg' title='winery by Rita Juliana'><img src='http://abouttogetmarried.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/winery_3rita-juliana.jpg' alt='winery - photo by Rita Juliana' width='240' align='right' /></a>
</p>
<p><br clear='all'></p>
<p>The romantic beauty of the rolling hills and the naturally ripening fruit is simply a perfect location to realize a dream of a marriage.</p>
<p>The beauty of vineyards does not stay outdoors. Often regarded havens of all the fine arts, vineyards have transformed to cater to a variety of occasions including weddings inside and out.  Vineyards&#8217; tasting rooms and private rooms offer aesthetic and romantic appeal in their selection of furniture and fineries.  Whether you choose an outdoor gazebo or an inside private room, a vineyard offers a wedding in style.</p>
<p>There are numerous ways to incorporate the wine theme into the details of your wedding, ranging for ceremonial grape crushing, a toast with your private reserve, personalized wine labels or wine-related wedding favors, such as wine glass charms, or wine-filled fondants.  Even gifts for the maid of honor, best men and other members of the wedding party can follow the wine theme.</p>

</table>
<p>While set in a quietly romantic countryside,  the wine country is really a first-class destination. Here you will find the country&#8217;s best resorts, haute cuisine, premium golf courses, luxurious spas, and other top services all within easy reach from your vineyard. As wine countries cater to the wedding market, they offer locational integration and other excellent, local service.</p>
<p>The most popular US wine destination has to be Napa Valley and Sonoma Country, adjacent to each other, both about 1-2 hours drive north of San Francisco. There is plenty to do before and after the wedding day. Besides wine tasting tours to sample the produce of 300+ wineries, there are wonderful hot springs and other premium spas to visit. There are horses to ride through wildflower meadows. There are glorious hot air balloons champagne tours to offer you an bird&#8217;s eye view of life below.  And oh, there is so much more to do.</p>
<p>Each wine country and each vineyard displays its own mood and style. Selecting the right style is of course more important than locational convenience.  Particularly when your vineyard wedding is a destination wedding, whereby you and your family has to travel from far to the wine country, you will have to consider which area best suits your wedding, in terms of accommodation and other services of choice as well.</p>
<p>To have an idyllic vineyard wedding, you certainly don&#8217;t need to visit popular Napa or Sonoma sites as many other wineries will aim to offer you that which is most important: a very memorable day.

		<description><![CDATA[If you are planning a wedding, you can combine both your wedding ceremony and your honeymoon in one by choosing a destination wedding.  A destination can be everything you've dreamed of, and provide a perfect location for you and your guests to celebrate your wedding. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Audrey Cave</a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re getting married in the near future, you should consider having a destination wedding. What is a destination wedding?  A destination wedding can be anywhere you want, but typically it is a small ceremony in an exotic or remote location. You get married there and stay there for your honeymoon with friends and family.</p>
<p align="center"><b><br />

<img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/9t82y7B-53PSXYXQWXPRQUZXXYU" width="1" height="1" border="0"/></p>
<p>A destination wedding can be anywhere from a simple eloping ceremony to a large wedding ceremony with extended family and friends. Whatever location you want, from the beaches of Mexico to the mountains in Colorado, can be your destination for your wedding. If you&#8217;re not sure where to have your destination wedding, here are some of the best destinations in the United States to have a wedding.</p>
<p><B>Hawaii</B><br />
This is the perfect location for a beach wedding ceremony.  Hawaii offers pristine beaches and beautiful sunsets as the perfect backdrop for a romantic ceremony and honeymoon.</p>
<p><B>New York City</B> <br />
This bustling city has plenty of large hotels and complexes to host an elegant and fancy wedding. There is always plenty to do in the city after the wedding, whether you want to catch a play on Broadway or take a romantic walk or picnic in the park.</p>
<p><B>Miami</B><br />
For a more local beach scene, Miami is your place. Boasting sunny temperatures for most of the year, Miami is a beautiful destination wedding. This city holds some of the hottest beaches around, with plenty of clubs and restaurants to visit after the wedding.</p>
<p><B>Las Vegas</B><br />
Known for being a city of chapels and elopements, Las Vegas has plenty of hotels and chapels on or off the strip to tie the knot. There are even orchards and gardens near the city, for a combination of the city and country all in one.</p>
<p><B>Arizona</B><br />
Northern Arizona holds beautiful mountains and scenery with pristine lakes.  A <a target="_new"<br />

<p><B>Napa Valley</B><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Melissa Ingram</p>
<p>A honeymoon should be a time to take a vacation from the craziness of planning the wedding, get to know each other under the best and most romantic of circumstances, and see a bit of the world you&#8217;ve never seen before. But what do you do if you are far shy of being able to afford renting a summer beach side bungalow in Waikiki? There are actually a myriad of creative ways that newly wedded couples on a budget can get the vacation they deserve without breaking the bank.</p>
<p>One of the easiest ways to cut down on honeymoon costs is to save money on travel. Budget airlines can get you to your destination just as quickly as major airlines, but can leave with you with more to spend on Mai Tais and guided tours once you actually arrive. Often, the best airfare deals can be found directly on their websites, rather than on travel sites. While the list of destinations these airlines offer can sometimes be limited, certain planes on certain budget airlines sometimes feature major perks like leather seats and satellite TV.</p>
<p>If you want to go to a major, popular destination, but can&#8217;t quite find the cash, consider traveling in the off-season. Many tropical destinations like Hawaii and the Caribbean are beautiful even in the winter and fall, and traveling during those times means lower airfares, cheaper hotel rooms, and sometimes even more affordable restaurants bills. But what if you are getting married during prime vacation time? Well, nothing says you have to take your honeymoon immediately after your wedding. Taking a few months off might even help you recover from you wedding expenses and leave you better prepared to take the honeymoon of your dreams.</p>
<p align='right'>
<a href='http://abouttogetmarried.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/flame_of_love_-reworked-photo-by-rachel-kirk.jpg' title='flame_of_love_-reworked-photo-by-rachel-kirk.jpg'><img src='http://abouttogetmarried.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/flame_of_love_-reworked-photo-by-rachel-kirk.jpg' alt='flame_of_love_-reworked-photo-by-rachel-kirk.jpg'  align='right' /></a>
</p>
<p><p>But what do you do if you are really in the hole? Find a campground somewhere close and spend a week or more roughing it with your loved one. Starry skies, midnight bonfires, and intimate quarters can give you all the romance of taking your honeymoon far away, but it can be done cheaply enough to fit anyone&#8217;s budget. You would be surprised just how good s&#8217;mores taste while under the influence of wedded bliss.</p>
<p>Of course, the best way to save money for your honeymoon is to save money on the wedding itself. Consider having the ceremony at someone&#8217;s house rather than a church or community center. Great-looking decorations for your wedding can be bought at dollar stores or discount super stores. Have close friends help set up the decorations. And be sure to find <a target="_new" href="http://trulyweddingfavors.com">cheap wedding favors</a> that everyone enjoys. It is surprisingly easy to buy unique wedding favors for every one of your guests without spending too much.</p>
<p>But no matter where you spend your honeymoon or how you are spending it, the important thing is the you are spending it together. Take this time to celebrate all you have accomplished together, and to appreciate how wonderful it is to be starting such a major chapter your lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ladies, if you want to make you wedding night extra special, remember to wear your bridal lingerie.</p>
<p>That special night will be even more special if you&#8217;re wearing something special to go along with it.  The most beautiful night of your life should be even more exciting when you wear risqu� lingerie.  After the wedding and the honeymoon, your marriage will come down to earth as you deal with the realities of making a home and a life together.  So make your wedding night extra memorable for both your groom and yourself by wearing bridal lingerie.</p>
<p>Although you can wear almost any kind of risqu� lingerie on your wedding night, traditional bridal lingerie is usually white to symbolize purity.  It is often (but not always) made of satin and/or lace and adorned with pearls or light-colored sequins- similar to your wedding dress.</p>
<p>Some brides wear there bridal lingerie underneath their wedding dress and some don&#8217;t.  If your special wedding night lingerie matches your wedding dress nicely and is comfortable, it might be nice to wear it underneath.  One disadvantage of doing so, however, is that wedding dresses are made to be beautiful, not comfortable, and the dress alone might make you very hot underneath.  Having more satin on underneath will only make you hotter.  Cotton might be a better choice- it&#8217;s cooler, and it&#8217;ll absorb some of the sweat.  Plus, you don&#8217;t want to get your fantasy lingerie all sweaty- you won&#8217;t have time to wash it before you need to wear it that night.  So you&#8217;ll probably want to save it for your wedding night festivities, or at least get two outfits- one for under your wedding dress, and one for in your wedding bed.</p>
<p>When you choose your bridal lingerie, you&#8217;ll have many choices.  The most popular wedding night fantasy lingerie is a white lingerie corset with matching panties and white stockings. That might not be your style, so any white revealing lingerie would be acceptable.  For example you could wear baby doll lingerie with crotchless lingerie panties; a flirty lingerie bra with satin lingerie panties; or even a sheer lingerie lace gown with no panties.  And remember that full figure lingerie is available for brides, too.  </p>
<p>When you are planning your wedding keep in mind that your wedding night is a one time event. So don&#8217;t be afraid to make it as exciting and romantic as you want it to be. The lingerie you choose will have a major impact in how exciting your wedding night turns out to be. No matter what you wear, your groom will surely be very excited.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A honeymoon is far more than just a vacation with a new spouse. No, it is far more than that because what a honeymoon represents is a great leap forward in the starting of a new life. No longer are the two people separate individuals. Their lives are now fused into one and their separate paths have joined together to form a unique union. Yes, a honeymoon is a single step forward on this new path. Because of this, a honeymoon should be planned out properly so that it becomes a memorable experience forever.</p>
<p>How a Honeymoon Registry Can Help</p>
<p>In order to make sure that a honeymoon will be a memorable one, there needs to be deliberate planning undertaken to make sure that the best possible trip and itinerary have been planned. This can be a somewhat challenging task for those who are not very familiar with the steps needed to make sure a honeymoon is properly planned. This is where a honeymoon registry comes in handy.</p>
<p>A honeymoon registry service is essentially a &#8216;spin&#8217; on the classic travel agency. What the purpose of the honeymoon registry is, is that it devises and plans out all the steps of the honeymoon long in advance so that the honeymooning couple do not have to deal with the stress associated with planning their own honeymoon excursion.</p>
<p>No Small Gift</p>
<p>There is another unique and novel aspect to the honeymoon registry service is the fact that the service can itemize aspects of the honeymoon and then have these itemized aspects paid for as gifts by the wedding guests. This is, in effect, the actual registry itself  the various itemized components of the honeymoon become part of a &#8216;registry&#8217; and guests can donate towards the registry.</p>
<p>Yes, this is a somewhat surprising inroad into wedding planning, but it has grown exponentially popular in recent years. (It also makes life incredibly easy for guests and it saves them the related responsibilities associated with purchasing gifts.)</p>
<p>While this may seem like a dramatic departure from what is the &#8216;norm&#8217; in terms of wedding and honeymoon planning, it is also a harbinger of the wave of the future. While tradition and traditional planning all have their proper place, progress and innovation is important as well and even weddings and honeymoons are no strangers to progress. Look for the concept of the honeymoon registry to continue to grow in popularity as time progresses.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Tahiti a dream comes true. Heavenly beaches, fantastic resorts, excellent 5 star hotels, everything to make your vacation one that you will never forget. It is the perfect getaway for romance and even a honeymoon.</p>
<p>There are so many activities to choose from, like, taking long walks in the evening on the beach, visiting the local villages, sight seeing, scuba diving, surfing, horse back riding or just a private moment. Tahiti is the greatest island of French Polynesia.</p>
<p>Diving activities:       Traveling here is wonderful for diving with the many varied sites and depths for the beginner to the most experience. The islands offer many drop-offs, wrecks, caves and even sharks.</p>
<p>Tahiti being your first stop in French Polynesia (unless you travel by boat), offers easy conditions and is the ideal place for rehabilitation dives. If you have enough time, I recommend you venture to the peninsula (Tahiti), one hour drive from Papeete, where you will discover a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere. The rich and various underwater activity and sceneries are competing with some of the most well-known and best rated destination sites in the world.</p>
<p>For the beginner, scuba diving is always the best alternative if you want to explore nature&#8217;s beauties&#8230;and maybe lost treasures&#8230;</p>
<p>With over 800 marine species, French Polynesia is a unique travel destination for diving. Its 118 Islands offer unlimited resources, in a huge underwater environment.</p>
<p>Lagoons&#8217; crystal waters, impressive underwater cliffs, the amazing Big Blue of the Pacific Ocean are as many environments as there are exciting, surprising and unforgettable dives. It&#8217;s live entertainment on a natural big screen!          From beginners to advanced divers, there are diving sites suitable and safe for anyone.</p>
<p>The Society Islands, very popular with tourists, offer a large range of dives, usually easy-graded, nonetheless amazing (Anau and its mantas in Bora Bora) In the Australes, not frequented as much by tourists, you may cross path with the impressive whales (Rurutu) In Northern part of French Polynesia, the wild and unspooled Marquesas shelter giant mantas, hammer head sharks in its caves. Many unforeseen and surprising encounters. Wherever you dive in French Polynesia, you&#8217;ll be surrounded by many varieties of fauna and flora, like barracudas, hump head wrasse, butterfly fishes, and huge gorgonian.</p>
<p>Just open your eyes and the show begins!  Taking underwater photos and videos is a real pleasure because visibility is usually good, even excellent, especially outside lagoons and in passes where it can reach 50 meters plus. Be aware that the electric power the guides have with them might not be compatible with your own equipment (flash, battery charger).  Don&#8217;t forget to protect them from all external factors like sun, wind, sand, salt or water. Very few diving centers have photo and video equipment for rent. Some of them have good quality disposable underwater cameras for sale.</p>
<p>You can have your films processed in Tahiti? However, delay may be long, and prices might be higher than in your home state.        The islanders strongly recommend the greatest care when you&#8217;re shooting manta ray or a close up on the coral. Other divers will follow, and if you found the underwater environment in a pristine condition, it&#8217;s because divers before you paid attention and respected it. Don&#8217;t forget, you might return in a near future. Respecting the environment must be your first priority, to decide on your shooting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A honeymoon is the traditional post-marriage trip taken by newlyweds to celebrate their marriage and ease away the stress that can accumulate in the months before the ceremony. Most often taken in exotic, secluded and out-of-the-way locations, what better place to take a honeymoon than in the therapeutic waters and lush islands of the Caribbean?</p>
<p>Guana Island</p>
<p>Guana Island is a beautiful place to have a Caribbean honeymoon. The entire island is privately owned and usually no more than 32 guests are allowed on the island at any given time. Accommodations tend to be available from early November to late August where you would be lodging in one of their handsome hilltop cottages that over-look the cerulean sea.</p>
<p>The North Beach Cottage offers more private accommodations and boasts its own kitchen, living room, several terraces and a private saltwater pool. During your romantic getaway you can enjoy tennis, the use of small, personal sailboats, windsurfing equipment, snorkeling gear, or simply hike along one of the various scenic trails. With around 850 acres of natural beauty, 7 sparkling beaches and only 32 guests you&#8217;ll rarely have to share your honeymoon with anyone but your beloved.</p>
<p>Jamaica</p>
<p>Jamaica can be another great place to take a Caribbean honeymoon, offering options for stimulating excitement or tranquil relaxation at any number of fine resorts or private villas. Wyndham Rose Hall Resort can provide a particularly peaceful getaway for the newlywed couple with fun in the sun on their mind. Sugar Mills Falls is a lovely water complex that boasts tumbling waterfalls, lagoons to drift and relax in, a swim-up bar, three terraced pools, a lazy river and more where you can enjoy the warmth and companionship of your new marriage.</p>
<p>The resort also features an 18-hole championship level difficulty golf course that will challenge almost any enthusiastic golfer. If your Caribbean honeymoon calls for more than just relaxing, Jamaica is also home to some fine dining establishments and cosmopolitan shopping opportunities that are bound to catch just about anyone&#8217;s interest.</p>
<p>The Cayman Islands</p>
<p>For the couple interested in diving, snorkeling and other methods of enjoying the sea, the Cayman Islands can be a titillating retreat during a Caribbean honeymoon. A small chain of islands roughly 480 miles south of Florida, the Caymans are world famous for their breathtaking beaches, and snorkeling and diving adventures. A slightly upscale location with a focus on enjoyment derived from the ocean rather than from the nightlife scene or other forms of entertainment found available on Caribbean honeymoons.</p>
<p>Aruba</p>
<p>Aruba&#8217;s culturally diverse background can make this island an excellent place for the historically minded couple taking a Caribbean honeymoon. The island was originally by a tribe of Indians from Venezuela called the Arawak. Many places in Aruba still have their original Indian names and many of the Aruban people still echo the faces of their native ancestors. Stopping by the Archaeology Museum in Oranjestad to take a peek at a collection of Indian artifacts might be on the honeymoon to-do list or if you tire of being in town and want some quality alone-time with your honey, head out to the countryside to take in the vibrant, wild beauty of the island.</p>
<p>For a gorgeous view of the city you can climb to the top of Hooiberg, a 541-foot tall hill that offers the energetic couple a 562-step climb to the top. For those with less energy, or energy to spare after the climb, head over to Ayo and Casibari to the northeast of Haystack Hill, Hooiberg, and view ancient paintings along these two multi-ton rocks. Ayo and Casibari also offer natural carvings for the energetic to climb around on before bidding a fond farewell to their honeymoon in the Caribbean.<br />
